RED FANG COVER FRAGGLE ROCK'S "WHY"

Portland, OR hard rockers RED FANG have premiered a cover of the Fraggle Rock song "Why" in preparation for their upcoming headlining fall US tour with Whores and Wild Throne.

Originally recorded in 2013 and now appearing on the Fraggle Rock tribute album Shine On, the track will appear alongside a cover of Elvis's "Can't Help Falling In Love" on a limited edition 7" to be released by Volcom in conjunction with the tour. A preview of the cover art along with an extremely limited quantity of the press is currently available for pre-order via Relapse HERE. The full Fraggle Rock compilation, Shine On, is available digitally via iTunes HERE.

RED FANG's Revolver Magazine-sponsored tour comes on the heels of the band's recent European and Australian tours, and includes appearances at Slipknot's Knotfest and Monster Energy's Aftershock Festivals. This tour marks the last shows the band will perform in 2015 before heading into the studio to begin recording its new full-length next year. A complete listing of dates is available below.

Released via Relapse Records last year, RED FANG’s most recent album Whales and Leeches debuted at #66 on the Billboard Album Chart, marking the group’s highest sales week ever and first debut in the Top 200. Whales and Leeches, which was produced by Chris Funk (Decemberists) and mixed by Vance Powell (White Stripes, Raconteurs, Kings of Leon), has generated worldwide critical acclaim for the band from publications such as SPIN, Revolver, Magnet, Alternative Press and many more (soundbites below). Featuring such guests as Mike Scheidt (Yob) and Pall Jenkins (The Black Heart Procession), Whales and Leeches has propelled RED FANG into the upper stratosphere of the heavy rock and metal elite. The album can be streamed in full via the band's official Bandcamp page HERE.

RED FANG recently premiered their new animated video for “Crows In Swine,” the third single off Whales and Leeches. The clip, which was animated and directed by Adam Avilla, can be viewed HERE.

Tommy thank you for taking out some time from touring to answer some questions. BAH: Prong have been around since the late 1980's, what do you contribute your lasting success? TV: I don’t know for sure. Maybe it has something to do with when I was 11 years old I just wanted to be in a band get on stage and get the hell out of where I was. That feeling remained for a long time and it may be hard wired into me. I can’t explain a lot of it. I know I’ve wanted to get out of the whole band thing several times and I somehow get pulled back in. Success is relative though. To some I’m successful to others I’m not. I’ve made way more mistakes than base hits along the way. Me, I think I have like a .285 lifetime batting average. There’s a lot of guys way more talented than me out there. A lot of guys way more better looking. I’ve had some good breaks. I’ve also simply willed survival in the business many times. You just keep looking for pieces to finish the puzzle. BAH: What is it like when t…

Against What's Best is a 4-piece pop-punk band out of Watertown, New York, heavily inspired by bands like All Time Low, A Day to Remember, and Four Year Strong. They combine catchy melodies, relatable lyrics, upbeat drums, and heavy guitar riffs to create music that they all love.

Against What's Best formed when brothers Jake Harris, and Alex Harris decided to start writing music together. Jake was previously working on solo acoustic material, while Alex wanted to be in a heavy metal band. They compromised, and began writing original pop-punk until they could find other band members. Jake would be the rhythm guitarist/vocalist, and Alex would be the lead guitarist. They eventually recruited their long time friend Kyle Anders, as the bassist/vocalist, and long time friend Justin Edgar, as the drummer. They released their debut self-recorded 6 track EP "Wasting Away In Upstate" on March 15th, 2016. Shortly after, they began the writing process for their first full leng…
